Chillin' Like a Villain
I've been taking some new medications for the last few months. Wonderful, wonderful drugs! Sometimes I stop and am like, "Who was that person before?" So, anyway...I knew there was something wrong with the medication though. I wasn't losing any weight, and I've been working out, and eating right, but nothing was happening, except that I have been getting stronger and more in shape, but I wasn't having "fat loss".
I saw a new doctor early this week, who before I could even tell her any of my concerns...she said, "We HAVE to get you off this one medication!" It's the one I've been taking at night to sleep. She said that there are so many other things that are ten times better to take to sleep, and the medication I was on was making me gain weight, and not be able to lose it. Her exact words were, "You'll see! We get you off of this stuff, and the weight is just going to fall off! Especially if you've been working out! You have such a gorgeous face, you won't be alone for much longer!" Ok, so I do hate when people tell me I have a pretty face, but need to lose weight...but I was so happy with what she said, I wasn't mad at her.
That was Monday. I went in to work out with Ray Ray the Killer today, and got on the scale. I've lost 5lbs this week. It's a little more than you're suppose to lose a week, but in the beginning you always lose a little more at one time. I can't tell you how super excited I am! Now I can finally see the results of my hard work over the last few months. And even more, my new sleep medication is so good! I don't wake up feeling foggy anymore, and my vivid nightmares are a lot less.
With that said...I'm on my way to Pappadeux's with Mary Ann to eat a giant chopped salad with crawfish! Yum!
